404 From Cron Job On Google App Engine Django App

Solution 1:

You're mixing up elements of the flexible environment app.yaml with those of the standard environment app.yaml

In particular the script: JSONdownload.app portion is ignored. You need to add the handler for the /run/get_data/ path inside your mysite.wsgi app, maybe from there invoking the JSONdownload.py code.

Somehow related: cron job in google app engine not working.

Solution 2:

So... it was that I didn't route to teh location. I was actually able to just set a route (with admin against it) to the URL and then able to call it via the cron.yaml.
